Take ten large tomatoes, put them into a pan, and pour scalding water over them to remove the skins easily; peel them and cut out all the hard or unripe portion; then cut through and take out the seeds. Boil an onion and mash it tine; add it to the tomatoes, with pepper and salt to your taste, and a piece of butter as large as a hen's egg.

A Plainsville druggist has preserved in alcohol a huge bullfrog, and m-his mouth a young duck. The history of tho pair is as follows: Mr. Freeman, of Plainsville, had from time to time missed young duck, in all some twenty or twenty-five, for whose mysterious disappearance he was unable to account Determined to fathom the mystery, he waited for the

enemy, who surprised him in the shape j

of a large bullfrog as he seized one of the young ducks and was in the act of swallowing it, when Mr. Freeman put an end to the sport by rapping him over the head with a club. The two were preserved exactly as they were taken. JVew Haven Palladium According to a Viennese statistical journal.

American incomes. There is no table of the average duration of fortunes; but the statistics of business failures in the country since 1866 show that the average yearly fail-, uvea ranged from 1 in 163 in the year 1871 to 1 in 75 in 1876. How many business men in a thousand fail, once or more, during their business lifetime, I cannot learn. The proportion used to be. estimated for New England at 97 per cent. That is probably too high a figure for the business of t day, conducted, as it is, upon much shorter credits than formerly. But the proportion of traders who fail is probably not lower than 75 per cent, of the whole number. How many of our people live upon their invested means ?

judgment, Burns was one of the noblestlooking meu of his age. "Walter Scott, at the age of 15, saw the poet, and it made an enduring1 impression. He describes him as follows : " His body was stroug and robust, and his appearance was rustic, but not clownish. His manner, though plain, was marked by dignified simplicity. His countenance was more massive than it appears in his portraits. His eyes were large aud glowed (I say literally glowed) when he spoke on any subject with feeling or deep interest. I never saw such another eye in any other man, though I have seen the most distinguished characters of the age, " The above-mentioned interview is interesting, as the picture of one poet given by another. It occurred at a social dinner when Scott was merely a spectator, but he attracted attention by replying to a question which no other person in the room could answer, nnd his reward was a smile and an approving word from the poet. How little did the inspired plowman" imagine that the lame boy, who then attracted his attention, would reach such a distinction still less

men at any given time, we suu ao not have a large class of permanently rich men ; we do not even have, like tho French, a large class of persons who have a permanent; though smpH competence. The rich American's wealth is extremely volatile ; in nine cases out of ten it is "fairy gold." The old lcnd-owners form the chief exception to the rule ; especially in our large cities, where the increase of values . has been great. But if our class of permanently

j wealthy people is small, so also is our

class ot destitute people. We are lortunate in. having no such immense and harmful inequality of fortunes as we see in modern England. Our ill fortune is this, that our class of moderate compe-

j tences is also small, that so few ot us, j in spite of our opportunities and our laj bors, have seized the good of even a

small assured competence. X he land is full of people who havo not, on the other hand, and who aro not likely to have, any assured competence, however moderate, but who have nothing to expect but labor to the end. This is, indeed, the appointed human lot for the majority in any community ; but-need it be, in a country of resources like this, so nearly the universal lot? Might not many of us avoid it by a greater care for a moderate competence, a lessened ambition for fortunes ? 2 M. Coan, in Harper's Magazine Sponge Cloth. One of the recent German inventions consist of a new kind of cloth, which is composed principally or entirely of sponge. In its manufacture, the sponges are first thoroughly beaten with a heavy hammer, in order to crush all the mineral and vegetable impurities, so that they can be easily washed out; they are then dried and pared with a sharp knife, the paring being sewed together. The fabrio which is thus obtained is described as being free from nil the danger which sometimes arises from the absorption of poisonous dyes into the system ; it absorbs without checking the perspiration, so ns to diminish the danger of taking cold; it is a conductor, and therefore helps to maintain a uniform surface temperature; it can be more readily cleansed than the ordinary woolen garments; its flexibility decreases the liability of chafing; and tho ease with which it can bo employed in shoes, stockings, drawers, undershirts and other articles of clothing, will, it is thought, render tho now material especially useful as a protection against rheumatic and pulmonary attacks.

The Earth's Population. In the new issue (No. 6) of Behm and Wagner's well-known 41 Bevolkeruug der Erde " there nre several points of fresh interest. ' Since the last issue, about two yeais ago, the population would seem to have been increased by about 17,000,000, . the present population of the earth, according to Behm aud Wagner, being 1,456,000,000, as against 1,439,000,000 two years ago. This, however, can not be set down to be absolute natural increase, much of tho addition being, no doub the result of new and more accurate statistics. The new issue has, for example, to take account of several new census, : , some of them in countries . where the , population has not been accurately coiuy ted for many years, if at alL We have, for example, the census of Spain in 1877 ; Portugal, 1878 ; Greece; 1879 .SuflunT and Herzegovina, 1 87 ew 1 Zeland, .. 1878; Peru, lS7o; Denmark, 1880, besides several smaller places; The .total ' population is divided among the continents as follows : Europe, 315,929, 000, or the ratio of 32.5 per square kilometre ; Asia 834,707,000, or 18.7 per square kilometre ; Africa, 205,679,000, or 6.9 per square kilometre; America, 95,495,500, " or 2.5 per square kilometre; Australia and Polynesia, 4,031,000, or .0.4 per . square kilometers ; the remainder, 82,000, belong to tlie north polar region, mostly Iceland and Greenland. Although . the census of the United States has been taken somo months since, and a few of the data oozed out in an irregular fashion, Herren Behm and Wagner " have not made any statistics. They calculate that tho census ought to give a result of at . least 47,000,000. Tho editors have also -made a fresh planimetrical calculation of the area of Africa,- yielding 1 a result of , 29,383,390 square kilometres. Of tlujr area about six and a third millions are forest and culture land, tho samo area savannahs and scattered woods, 1,500,000 bush, 4,200,000 steppe, and 10,500,000: desert. The last item seems appalling, but it should be remembered that much of this desert may be reclaimable, and that it includes large areas of fertile oases. A new planimetric calculation of the area of South Amorica yields tlie re suit of 17,732,128 square kilometres, differing greatly from the sum of tho ofticiaj areas given by the South American governments.
